PCI DSS 4.0
Req 5: Anti-Malware

PCI DSS 4.0 5.3.4: 5.3.4 Anti-malware audit logs enabled and retained

Audit logs produced by the anti-malware solution or solutions must be turned on and kept in line with Requirement 10.5.1. These logs let the entity confirm that updates and scans run as expected, that malware is found and dealt with, and trace how malware got in and what it did. Applicability: applies to every entity in scope, with no special notes. Customized approach objective: records of anti-malware activity are available immediately and kept for at least 12 months.

Other controls in Req 5: Anti-Malware

You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?

PCI DSS 4.0 5.3.4 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of PCI DSS 4.0 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 139 of 280 PCI DSS 4.0 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 415 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
